I love Fridays. So much. Here’s to the weekend and my favorites with Erika, Narci, and Andrea!

One.

Here’s the deal. You know that pen/pencil/marker that you just love writing with? The one you always reach for and would be so sad if they ran out? These are my favorite! I used them during student teaching a few years ago and fell in love. Well, they just ran out. With such a small price tag and so much excitement, these showed up on my doorstep this week. Completely random? Yes. Totally worth it when I have a million lists to write? Absolutely! 🙂 You can get a pack of five, here!

Two.

I’ve been shopping for wedding and baby gifts like it’s my job. So much happiness to indulge in! The last five gifts have been delivered to my doorstep and I love it. So thankful for free shipping! 😉 Check them all out because I can’t be the only one in the midst of wedding and baby season!

Three.

Last weekend we stumbled upon this store that is awesome! They have such unique pieces and Eric and I both wanted to buy all of it!

Four.

The other night I was flipping through the Dessert of the Day book from Williams Sonoma that is always on our coffee table. The recipes and pictures are wonderful and having a seasonal dessert for every day of the year is so fun!

Five.It has been H-O-T here! What should I do with an overwhelming amount of blueberries? Make them into popsicles of course! 😉 The creaminess of the yogurt and fresh blueberry taste creates a punch in your mouth that is refreshing for any summer day, stifling hot or not! 😉

Ingredients:

1 cup Siggi’s Vanilla yogurt

1/2 cup blueberries

*Makes four popsicles.*

What to do:

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the yogurt and blueberries with a spoon. Once combined, spoon into the popsicle molds. When each popsicle holder is filled, carefully tap the holder to eliminate air bubbles and space. Place in the freezer for at least four hours or until frozen.

We are all about homemade popsicles over here!! Nicely done on the gifts – you can’t go wrong with bodum glassware or a sophie (just don’t get them mixed up, ha!). And I feel you on the pens – I’m the same way with the Mr. Sketch scented thin markers!! They were the only thing I would grade with 😉

I have only been married for six weeks and now I am in the throws of other peoples weddings, wedding showers and baby showers. I have five events coming up between now and the end of September! But it is so much fun celebrating all these moments!

Your Popsicles look delicious!! I shared a Nutella version this week. There’s something about getting new school supplies isn’t there?? Papermate purple gel pens are my favorite to use for grading. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!!

I LOVE those pens!!! Seriously, when I start a new pack, I’m like “It’s a new marker day!!! It’s going to be a good day!” The great thing is that they don’t bleed through the paper or smell. Thanks for including them in your post, so more people know about them!
Btw, sometimes Staples has $1.00 for each pen and you can pick your favorite colors. In the multi-pack, I can never use the yellow, green or light purple with my students because it’s too light, so the $1.00 pen works out well.
